Time To Catch Up

Hello World! It Is I! "The Key" Gabriel Vega! Welcome To My Blog! (And Welcome Back For Repeat Visitors)


Today Is A Good Day! I Am Sitting Here At The Park In Council Bluffs Enjoying The Cool Air As I Write This Blog And Talk To This One Girl We Will Call Jackie (Please Dont Kill Me "Jackie" XD)

Anywho, I Will Get To That Later! Trust Me!

To Recap What Has Happened The Last Two Years, My Wife Cheated, Again. No Surprise. Repeatedly. I Attempted Suicide, Twice...Attention! If You Are Feeling Hopeless And Unloved, There Is A Plan For You. You Where Not Created Just To Be Used And Abused. You Are So Much More Than That. If You Live In Iowa, Look Up The HOPE 4 IOWA Crisis Hotline. They Will Help You. They Helped Me.


While I Was In The Hospital For Attempted Suicide By Cop, She Cheated. Do Any Of My Readers Know What Gaslighting Is? No, Not Light From A Gas Unit LOL! It Is A Legit Term. Well, That Is What She Did To Me. And Worse. It Basically Amounts To Really Bad Psychological Abuse.

Anyway, We Are Getting Divorced And I Am Going To Move Down To Missouri For "Jackie" XD

She Is An Amazing Woman. Beautiful, Smart, Witty, Compassionate, Caring, Oh, And Sexy As Fuck!

I Still Have My Dogs, Lucky And Penny. I Live With A Deaf Roommate Named "Jason", And I Recently Ran Into Some Old Time Friends Of Mine As Well As Reconnected With Some Broken Friendships.

I Am Still Working On The Best Way To Make My Title Belts, And I Am Writing A Biography, Or Auto Biography, Which Ever One Means Im Not Dead Yet!

The (Auto) Biography Is Called Clinical Insanity Is Just A Formality: A Biography Of A Borderline.

I Am Not Sure If I Remember Telling Yall I Had A Job There For A Short Stint In 2014 From August To November. I Was Working At A Gas Station Owned By Kroger.

It Was Fun While It Lasted, But Due To Complications In My Home Life At The Time, I Resigned.


I Still Havent Found A Job Yet Since Then.

Anyway, I Am Getting A Little Depressed So I Will Chat At You Guys Later.

Be Safe, Take Care, And Have A Great Day!

Been Way Too Long!

Hello To All! It Has Indeed Been Way Too Long Since My Last Post! 

Things Have Been Pretty Hectic In The "Vega" Household.

Some Good, Some Bad, Some Indifferent...

I Have Been Having Some Major Issues Mentally And Emotionally Over The Last Say Month Or Two...

It Has Been One Hell Of A Ride, But I Am Managing To Get Through It (I Think?)

Anyway! Got Some Rather Interesting News To Announce, 

So, I Have Been Working On Getting A Few Businesses Up And Running For Some Time Now.

I Posted A "Go Fund Me" Link On This Blog For Help With Supplies And Such, At That Time I Was Not In The Best Financial Situation, But As Of Today, I Am In A Little Bit Of A Better Place, Not Much, But Enough To Slowly Get The Supplies I Need To Make My Belts!

I Will Be Holding Contests After I Have Gotten Some Belts Made So That One Lucky Winner Will Receive A Completely Custom Belt For FREE! (Less S&H) Thats Right! You Pay For The Shipping, And You Get A Completely Custom Belt, For Free! Thats About An $800 Value Without Counting The Artist Fee Which Will Also Be Waived For The Winner!

Also, I Will Be Working On Opening My Own Pro Wrestling Promotion In The Coming Year Or So, The Ring Itself Is Very Costly So It Will Take Me A While To Get The Funds For That But I  Would LOVE For Some Of My Blog Fans Who DONT Know Me In Person To Come Down And See A Show! Might Even Post Some Coupons For Free Entry Into The Show!

Just To Clerify, These Belts I Will Be Making, They Are Not Just For Wrestling MMA Or Boxing, They Can Be Any Non-Copyright Logo Or Theme You Want! Got A Job That Does Not Have A Friendly Employee Of The Month Competition? I Can Make You An Employee Of The Month Belt To Show Off! Got A Hobby? I Can Make A Design Or Use Your Ideas For A Design And Make It A Belt!

The Possibilities Are Endless!

Also, As A Sidenote, Sadly I Am No Longer Attending IWCC At This Time. 

Due To Some Unforseen Circumstances, And For The Physical Safty Of A Few Gentlemen, And I Use That Term Lightly, I Have Dropped Out...

I Do Not Know If Or When I Will Be Returning, But The Option Is Still A Possibility...

I Am Still Working On My Book "BreakingPoint: Marino's Meltdown", It Is A Slow Work In Progress, But Like I Mentioned Earlier, With Everything That Has Been Going On In My Personal Life, It Has Been Difficult To Focus On My Writing....

BUT! I Will Be Posting More Frequently From Now On! No More Month Or Months Between Posts! Thats Just Utterly (LOL I Said Utterly XD) Ridiculous!

Anyway! Dinner Is Done So Ive Got To Go Eat, Then Its Ladder Match Time! Yall Have A Great Night/Day Wherever You Are! And Know That I Am Deeply Sorry For Being Away For So Long!

Its Been A While...

Greetings To All! Yes, I Know, Its Been A While And I Am Sorry About That! I Have Been Sick And I Have Been Seriously Struggling In School, That And My Wife Has Had A Few Medical Emergencies Lately So Please Pray For The Overall Health And Well Being Of My Family!

Ok, So Update Time! My Family And I Are Moving In April, We Will Be Moving Just North Of Where We Are Now, About Maybe A Little Under A Mile Up The Street, It Will Be Cheaper And A Slightly Bigger Place, Not To Mention It Has A Small Workout Area And A Pool During The Summer And The Fall! 

Anyway, Aside From Moving, I Will Be Possibly Babysitting For My Sister For About 4 Hours A Day While Her And Her Husband Are At Work. It Will Be Nice Being Able To Spend Some Time With My Niece Everyday. And It Will Be A Good Thing Saving My Sister Some Money And Gaining A Little Money For My Family As Well.

Now To Get To The Nitty-Gritty, I Am Not Doing Well At IWCC At All, I Got Sick For Almost 3 Weeks Straight With My Stomach Issues...I Am So Far Behind On Some Of My Things That I Dont Think I Can Catch Up...So What I Am Seriously Considering At This Point Is To Sadly Drop Out Of IWCC And Focus On My Health And Get My Weight Down, Then Gain Some Muscle Mass, Maybe A Lifestyle Change Will Help My Issues, After Those Goals Are Met, I Would Be Going Back To Pro Wrestling Phoenix (PWP) To Go Back To Their Training Camp And Get Focused On My Wrestling Goals That I Have Had Since I Was A Kid. Then Maybe My Friends And I Will Be That Much Closer To Opening The Doors To Underworld Pro Wrestling (UPW) For Business! 

That Is All For Now Folks! I Will Catch You On The Flipside!

Be Safe, Take Care, And Have A Great Day!

Extended Definition Essay

Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder

January 29th 2014

Schizoaffective disorder is widely misunderstood by the general population. The definition of Schizoaffective disorder is not very discernable because it is a Psychiatric condition that is a combination of both mental and emotional conditions that make up the disorder, but do not completely classify the patient as having any of these symptoms fully. For example, I suffer from Schizoaffective disorder, and I have mild to moderate paranoia that comes and goes based on my emotional stability, I also have Bi-Polar disorder which is a condition that alters my mood and makes it difficult for me to control my emotional state at times, going from happy to sad to angry in a matter of minutes. Another condition that is usually accompanied with schizoaffective disorder is Dysthymia, also known as chronic persistent depression. Those who suffer from schizoaffective disorder do not have a concrete list of noticeable symptoms because it effects each person in a different way, not to mention the fact that schizoaffective is a combination of many different disorders but does not have a set list that qualifies one for diagnosis. This condition is also considered to be borderline schizophrenia, the difference between the two is the level of awareness and ability to differentiate reality from hallucinations. One with schizophrenia usually also has MPD or Multiple Personality Disorder, this is where the person affected by MPD changes demeanor and personality in a split seconds time. Those who suffer from MPD can’t control when they switch from one personality to the other, nor how long they stay as that personality, some people in the community that are unfamiliar with this disorder may think that a particular person with MPD is either a psychopath, or on drugs. Thanks to the media, particularly Hollywood horror movies, a great majority of today’s population believe that anyone who rocks back and forth, talks to themselves, or consistently hears and sees things that others don’t is a “psycho” and will inevitably snap and go on a killing spree. We have a great deal of horror movies to thank for this inaccurate description of this disorder. Not everyone with MPD is schizophrenic, but at least 60% of all “full blown” schizophrenics have MPD. People with Schizoaffective disorder are usually on the mid to higher end of the functionality spectrum, they know when they are having a hallucination, they are able to control themselves more effectively, and with the aid of medication can keep most of their symptoms under control. Whereas those who struggle with schizophrenia are on the lower end of the spectrum and statistically will spend most if not all their lives either in a care facility or being cared for by a family member. When you compare two people, one on each end of the spectrum, it is visibly clear which one is on which end. The person with schizoaffective disorder can find it easy to sit still a lot better than the person with Schizophrenia, moreover, the person with schizophrenia will find it abundantly more difficult to hold a coherent, and complete conversation with you. The common misconceptions of schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia is that they are one and the same, that anyone with these disorders cannot and should not be trusted around anyone for fear that they will end up hallucinating and hurting someone. While this is a possibility, it is less common than you would think, most schizoaffective people will harm themselves before hurting someone else. Those with schizophrenia are more aggressive more often, but there is most always a trigger that sets them off, either a sound, a word, a picture, exc. That gives them a bad thought, thus starting racing thoughts and uncontrollable behavior. This is not the case in all schizophrenic patients though, so one must be cautious about how they react to each person individually. The saying goes, “There is a fine line between genius and insanity” and that rings true for most people with mental illness, they are for the most part very creative and imaginative, a good few are very good at either art or numbers, and a resounding number of those with these kinds of disorders tend to have a very good memory. Not like a person with no mental illness who would remember a name or a face, but a good memory when it comes to rather odd things most people would not even notice at all, like the color of the wall, or a minute detail about someone’s personal attire, something most people overlook. As long as those who suffer from these seemingly debilitating disorders can find the right medication combination and a good psychotherapist, they can become active and useful members of society in some way, either by helping young people who are going through the same things they did, or raising awareness and research for a better treatment of the disorders, or maybe becoming a best-selling author of the most vivid, and perhaps the most terrifying novels you will ever read in your life. Society needs to come to the realization that not all of the people who are effected by schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are dangerous or evil people, we need to come to terms with the fact that those who suffer from these disorders have more obstacles in their lifetime than most people do, and be more willing to educate themselves and lend a helping hand so that they can be more stable and live a better lifestyle. Because these people have a lot to offer the community as a whole in some form, they just need to find a way to let it out in an understandable way. In conclusion, more people need to educate themselves and be more sensitive to the trials and problems those who suffer from schizoaffective disorder and conditions like it are going through on a daily basis, and be more involved in the lives of these people. I believe that if more people did this, and showed that they want to help out, then it would make the lives of at least the mid to higher level functioning patients feel more understood and less outcast in their own communities.
